My new wheel weights

[hdrhdr 0]

When I read landlord2110 posts about wheel weights I thought It was time to make my set. dadsy98 excelent diagram on the brackets were great and surviver2003 mentioning that Wal-mart had the weight set for ONLY $20.44 I had to go shopping. Went to W-M in Richmond and found the barbell set. The steel I had laying around and of course we all have spare nuts and bolts. I stopped by the Tractor Supply and bought two 1" x 8" big bolts and nuts. You can buy them by the pound. My pair were almost 5#s. I figure I have less than $30 in the whole set.

I didn't need to have an offset on the right side so both of them are identical. [img]/club2/attach/hdrhdr/IMG_0502.jpg[/img] Mounted on rim. [img]/club2/attach/hdrhdr/IMG_0503.jpg[/img] One 8lb weight.

Plus one 10lb weight.

Plus one 20lb weight equals 38 pounds times 2 equals 76 pounds that only takes a couple of minutes to install. The best thing is that the barbell set is "MADE IN THE USA":) Thanks to all the members for the fantastic ideas. This is proof that this is the best forum and club on the net!!! Randy

I think I might have to get the welder out and make me a set! That is some great engineering.

I'm happy you like that design. As far as I know You and Stumpy have tackled this project. Did you use the same bracket design on the left and right sides? the right side differental(sp) makes for a cumbersome arrangement. (see EZ Weights) I haven’t had The opportunity to complete the sets I’ve promised yet. Seems every nice day is used getting wood, water, and vehicle maintenance. Yes, I’m homesteading my place (read cheap). Heck, I might subcontract your services :):):)

Definitely a nice job. If you could find the steel version of similar weights, you probably could get more weight on there. Gotta figure out where to these weights.
